“Join other James Taylor fans for the timeless music of the six-time Grammy winner, with a performance that needs to be heard,” said Jake Hodgkin, Franco Center production manager.
Griese brings the songs and stories of Taylor in an authentic way, using his spot-on vocals and skillful guitar playing. It’s a natural and respectful homage to an American original.
“Whether you’re a lifelong or casual JT fan, this show is one not to miss,” said Hodgkin.

Included in the show are hidden gems for a Taylor-made show honoring one of America’s greatest troubadours, according to the musician’s press release.
